Re: Fusable Resistor

[QUOTE=R_J;1203505]It says it right on the board 5.1R which is 5.1Ω Likely a 1 watt


Thanks for pointing this out. It did not occur to me that it was the actual resistance value. All the other components on the PCB are numbered, R1, R2, R3... C1, C2, C3... etc. And now that I write this I realize that it said 5.1R not R5.1... Duh.

You learn by your mistakes and I am learning today!

Thanks for everyones patience with me.Re: Fusable Resistor

Re: Fusable Resistor

Thank you.

I was referencing a 5 band resistor color code chart which led to my confusion. The other confusing part for me is that the fusable resistor doesnt following the spacing of the bands that a normal resistor follows. Is there a fusable resistor color code chart? Or do we use the resistor color code chart but treat it like a 4 band resistor when the fifth band is white?

Again thanks for everyone's help. It's very much appreciated.

Re: Fusable Resistor

Thank you!

The 3rd Gold ring confused me. What does it mean?

I get the Green = 5, Brown = 1, Gold = ??, Gold = x .1, White = Fusable

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

Hey,
Wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I am trying to repair a small 12v 1A power supply. When I was "messing" with it I inadvertantly blew the fuse on the input. The supply states its:

120v/.45A Input
12v/1A Output

After I removed the fuse it looks more like a resistor but apparently its a fusable resistor??

Please see the pics.
2 pics of the device
1 pic of where the device sits on the PCB, its first inline from the AC neutral

To me its looks like the color codes are:
White,...

Hey Everyone. I have used badcaps for awhile but finally need to post a question so here I am...
